Well, I always knew what sex was, I don't remember when I learned it. I was about 5 and had a friend about 3-4 years older than me, our parents used to take us walking in the park. I knew when a baby was born it was coming out from the bottom and I knew we had 2 holes, I just had no idea from which hole it was coming out. (I knew about the uterus, sperm and all that, I was just confused about the location.) So our parents left us to play, then I got thirsty and went to see my moms friend, I asked her "What side do the babies come out from?"- meaning butt or vagina. She miss understood, and thought I asked how the baby comes out (by the head or legs). When she said "they come out of the head". I ran SCREAMING and CRYING across the park "I don't want to be pregnant, I don't want my head to explode!!!!" and I was running around for about 5 minutes until my mother caught up with me and calmed me down and explained to me. The other parents in the parc were shocked!!!
